sofia f For starters, As for someone who has never been to New York, the film makes it seem Huge. I come from a small island in Europe and I’ve been to some great cities in Europe such as London, Paris or Amsterdam. But they make New York seem too Big and too scary. I don’t know if it’s The whole 2 day time lapse for the whole tape or the footage of New York itself. Passing on, what makes me rate 4 stars is the South korean karaoke scene, I also loved discovering that koreans found out their Jobs as babies (or so the film makes it seem) as something I have never imagined before as an european. The whole “destiny thing” as the main theme, where everything is working against them… that’s “well put” for a romance but of course realistically speaking, it would be very hard for them to reconnect and randomly meet in the cafe all of those years later. I gave it a “7” on IMDB because it has some interesting quotes and details to it. I also liked the fact that we get to know the characters deeply and their culture and even though they make it about New York, the America films/biased plot of New York that we are used to isn’t there. Overall, it’s a great film. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/18/25 Full Review Omphile Z Loved everything about the book. Why the heck did they cast Yara?

Excellent actors and sweet creative story Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/24 Full Review Audience Member Maybe unfair, but I'm comparing the movie against the novel and WOW does it come up lacking. Shallow plot line, no character depth or development, so sugar coated. I understand you can't fit a novel into a movie but it would've been nice if they incorporated at least SOME of it in there. It's like 2 different stories were written from the same prompt, rather than a film adaptation of the novel. Gag.
